Background. In connection with the construction of a democratic constitutional state in Ukraine there is a need for a definition of the principles of law application. Subjects of application of the law should act only under and in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine, guided by the principles of the application of the law. The scope of these activities should be clearly defined by normative and legal acts, with the purpose of streamlining of public relations; it is directed by the state, so it is possible to speak about a special form of governance of society.
